Hi,
i have a problem with my wlan card (ipw2200).
I'm running debian stable with a 2.6.16-2-686 kernel from backports.org.
syslog i found, that the firmware loading failed (ipw-2.4-boot.fw load
failed: Reason -2). The firmware 2.4 is in the directories listed in
If you upgraded the kernel (I think from what you say you haven't)
you might need a newer firmware version.
If you are seeing this error at boo time, but can unload and load the module
fine by hand afterwards, the firmware might be in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
instead of /lib/firmware (and therefore not visible when the init system
tries to fire up the network).
